Everyone has a story to tell, but many think they don’t have the tools to do so. There is a secret power of telling your story. Anyone can become a published author with the right tools; every writer needs support, guidance, and feedback to succeed. American novelist Alice Walker said, “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” Opyrus enables billions of people to tap into their power to write for their mental, physical, and financial wellbeing.

Worldwide, there are approximately 152 million books in circulation, and 2.2 million more books are published each year. Millions of stories are also shared on a variety of social media and web platforms every day. The Director of the International Storytelling Center Jimmy Neil says, “We are all storytellers, We all live in a network of stories. There isn’t a stronger connection between people than storytelling.” Even with a large number of stories available, more have yet to be written.
The Benefits Of Storytelling
There are many benefits and powers of storytelling. Writing can effectively communicate difficult concepts; storytelling can make any fact up to 22 times more memorable. Writing about important personal experiences for just as little as 15 minutes a day for three days may benefit your mental and physical health. Writing goals enhance personal wellbeing and the likelihood of success. According to one study people who write down their goals are 1.5 times more likely to achieve them. Psychological benefits of storytelling also include healing, self-reflection, concentration, and reasoning.
When starting to write mindfully, you must choose the right story. Do you want to reflect on a challenging experience or a place of growth? Using a writing prompt can help get the creative juices flowing. Enjoying the journey requires you to focus on the process rather than just the result; writing should feel like a reward, not a punishment. The benefits of writing take time, so it’s important to build a habit. Commit to writing every day or several times a week, starting small. In the words of Toni Morrison, “If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” Start writing your story today; you just might change the world.
